The Walton Sextuplets at 23

Walton Sextuplets
Mr Walton, now 56, and his wife had given up on having children when their 13th attempt at fertility treatment bore fruit in spectacular fashion. The sextuplets were born prematurely on November 18, 1983.

The couple, who made history in 1983 with the birth of the world's only all-girl sextuplets, said that they couldn't be happier.

"I love that they're all around," said Mrs Walton, 54. "It would be so lonely without them. All I want now is for them to produce some grandchildren."

All six girls - Hannah, Luci, Sarah, Kate, Jennie and Ruth - moved out soon after they turned 18, but over the years returned one by one, the family tells this week's edition of First magazine.

Though proud of their adult children, the couple actually miss the days of nappies and endless feeding.

"They were such happy times and we can't wait until the girls start having kids of their own and we can step in and take them off their hands for the day," said Mr Norton.

Today, the girls are forging different paths. Hannah earned a business degree and works as a dispenser at Boots, Ruth and Luci work for Thomas Cook travel agents, Sarah is doing bar and restaurant work, Kate works in personnel and Jennie does childcare.

But I guess one of Mr Norton's concern would be: If all his daughters are married within the same year, how much will the dowry cost?
